A Wedding Weekend, Not Just a Wedding Day
Most weddings are built around one day.
Guests travel from different parts of the country, family and friends finally come together, the couple spend months planning every detail — and then the whole thing seems to pass in a blur.
Longlands Devon offers something different.
A private estate wedding reception venue in North Devon where your celebration becomes a full weekend together. Time to arrive slowly, settle in, celebrate properly, and enjoy the people who matter most without trying to squeeze everything into a few short hours.
This is not a traditional hotel wedding venue or formal function room.
Longlands is a private nature-led estate for relaxed wedding receptions, intimate wedding celebrations and destination-style wedding weekends with your closest family and friends.

The 3-Night Wedding Weekend
Our main wedding reception package is designed as a 3-night weekend stay from Friday to Monday.
Friday — Arrival Evening
Guests check in from 4pm, settle into the estate, unpack, explore, and begin the weekend slowly.
Many groups choose a relaxed Friday evening with a wood-fired pizza truck, drinks by the lake, time around the firepit, and an early night before the main celebration.
Saturday — Main Wedding Reception
Saturday is your main wedding reception day. A private estate setting gives you the freedom to shape the atmosphere, pace and experience in a way that feels personal to you.

Sunday — The Day Most Weddings Miss

Monday — Relaxed Departure
Check-out is 10am on Monday, after a full weekend together.
Not a rushed one-day event.
Not a few hours in a function room.
A complete wedding weekend with the people who matter most.

Wedding Venue with Accommodation for Up to 50 Guests
Accommodation is part of the package at Longlands Devon. Guests can enjoy both Lakeview Farmhouse (sleeps 20) and five Safari Lodge Treehouses (sleep 30), sleeping up to 50 guests in total across one private estate.
This makes Longlands especially well suited to couples searching for a wedding venue with accommodation in Devon, where family and friends can come together while still having their own space.
Once guests have parked the car and checked in, they can settle into the estate for the weekend. At the end of the evening, there is no waiting around for taxis or travelling back to separate accommodation — just a short stroll back to the Farmhouse or Safari Lodge Treehouses, with everyone still together on the estate beneath Devon's dark skies.

Important Things to Know
Longlands Devon is best suited to relaxed, intimate wedding receptions and private celebration weekends.
We are not a licensed wedding ceremony venue, so couples usually hold their legal ceremony separately and then come to Longlands for the wedding reception and celebration weekend.
Longlands is also not a high-energy party venue. We do not allow marquees, DJs, bands, or amplified outdoor music.
The estate is designed for couples who value privacy, nature, meaningful time with family and friends, and a slower, more memorable way to celebrate.
